How to: Preview Google + without an invite
A step-by-step guide to getting a preview of Google+
July 1, 2011
Guys, I'm finally back after quite a long interval. Well I did have some unfinished work to complete, and some urgent family business also kept me busy all this while.
Well, now that I'm back, let's get straight to the action. I know right now, you guys are pretty excited about the title. What's making the news for a few days now is the new and shiny 'Google + ' rumored to be the next best social networking website on the internet, labeled the Facebook Killer.'
Now if you have been living under a rock for the past few days, in short, Google+ is a combination of all the killer features of all top-notch social networking sites, Facebook, Twitter and so forth.
There are quite a few features that have been previously seen but have been refined, and there are new and exciting addendum as well.
Now for the hard part, the heart-breaker. To access it, you need an invite.
Yup, my reaction was no similar to yours. Fold your tents and go back home folks, there's no way I'm getting this invite.
But when there's a will there's a way.
I did manage to get hold of a way to get a preview, that is, how your profile and 'wall', if we may call it that, would look like in the new Google +.
Be warned, it's only a sneak-peek – you can't actually do anything.
Ready? Well, here goes.
1. Go to Google.
2. Type in "Site : plus.google.com posts" into the search bar and press enter.
3. Now, click on any link, Larry Page's page would be preferable. And ta-dah! Here it is, Larry Page's Plus Profile. Check it out. You may feel disappointed about the fact that you really can't do anything more, but hey, at least it's something.
So that was it, enjoy it until Google launches it for the world to sign up and use it. And until then if you do get hold of an invite, don't forget to mail it to me.
Till we meet in our 'Circles' on Google +, adios!
